Did you know that grants are available for creating events that bring people together across Panvala’s communities? Or that you can join a coalition and earn more in matching donations? This week we highlight the ways in which you can become active in the Panvala community…and get rewarded for it!
Take Advanatage of Our Activities Fund
The Activities Fund is a portion of Panvala’s budget dedicated specifically to social events that boost community engagement. This can look like poker games, book clubs, discussion groups--whatever! Panvala’s Activities Fund is run by the community for the community--similar to how student governments are given funds to organize social activities on campus, except instead of a student government, we have multisig signers.
If you have an idea for an event, we definitely want to hear about it. Just head over to the #activities-fund channel on Discord to pitch or promote your idea. If all sounds good to the Activities Fund stewards, we’ll send some PAN over.
A couple fun facts about the Activities Fund:
Anyone can apply for Activities Fund grants -- even if they aren’t part of the Panvala League community
Activities Fund grants are evaluated on event attendance and participation--it is all about who shows up!
You get bonus points (more funding) when league members or Activities Fund stewards attend your events
Interested? You can read more about the Activities Fund here, or head straight to to the #activities-fund channel on Discord.
Check Out Our Events Calendar
When was the last time you scrolled through Panvala’s events calendar? You can find out what is happening across the Panvala community here, as well as subscribe to our calendar to get alerts on upcoming events. You can even earn PAN for your attendance and participation! Of course the more people who take advantage of the Activities Fund, the better our events calendar will be.
Start a Coalition
This year, a big priority of ours is to build and strengthen our Panvala community. One way in which we are doing this is through the use of coalitions, which are essentially subleagues within the Panvala League that form around a common goal, interest, or specific connection. (Examples of coalition themes could be digital art, DeFi, law, security...) Ultimately the goal for these coalitions is to get League Members connected, communicating, and considering growth. If you were in a DeFi coalition, who else would you want to see present? Whether the project you have in mind is operating inside or outside of crypto, we will help you get new communities on board and into your coalition. Better yet, communities that are part of a coalition are rewarded with more matching donations. If you want to help grow an area of your interest while earning more from Panvala, follow these three steps:
Make sure you are a Panvala League member
Identify a goal or interest that other communities can gather around
Head to the #general channel on Discord to state your idea for a coalition and we will help you get connected to other like-minded communities!
Become a Fellow
Finally, you can always help Panvala grow by adding your skills to our community. Our Fellows are individuals who want to help carry out Panvala’s vision by offering their unique expertise to this project. Fellows take a specific route towards a common goal and get rewarded in PAN for their efforts. If you are familiar with Panvala and have something to offer that you feel will help grow this community, head over to the #future-fellows channel on Discord to tell us a little about yourself and your idea. *Tip: We are looking for a graphic designer!
